Please bookmark and enjoy!] Xiao Yueyun, a man from the Marquis of Zhenbei’s household in the Great Zhou dynasty, fled an arranged marriage and sailed overseas with his younger brother. After being struck by lightning, he landed in the modern world. Now he no longer had to follow the Three Obediences and Four Virtues or the rules for men like him, because here, he was a man. And not just any man: he was strong, dependable, tall, handsome, talented, skilled in the kitchen, and gentle! Women: “Ahhh, handsome man, marry me!” Before meeting him, men: “Hmph, pretty boy.” After meeting him, men: “...Keep staring and I’ll eat you up!” ...His pheromones were inexplicably powerful. From campus to the workplace, Xiao Yueyun did his best to adapt to life as a modern “man.” He worked to support his family, vowed to raise his younger brother, and set out to pass on the Xiao family’s martial arts and bloodline. He eventually found a career that proved his worth, and along the way, he fell in love, got married, and had and raised children. A talented, versatile, capable, and gentle shou who’s a bit of a heartthrob. If he has a golden finger, it’s the arts and skills he learned as a child: music, chess, calligraphy, painting, horsemanship, archery, and martial arts. [Updates of 3,000+ words every day, usually at noon, or between 6 and 10 p.m. at the latest. If it’s later, I’ll post a notice in the comments before midnight. The story starts slowly, with a gentle, steady pace, and it’s sweet.] [Content warnings: Childbirth; the shou initially has the mindset of a “man like him”; the gong appears later and has a mental illness (for fun and romance, and he gets better later).] [A friendly heads-up] 1. Fu Lang x Xiao Yueyun, one-on-one. Taciturn, slow-witted, loyal-dog gong x talented, versatile, capable, gentle shou. Both are strong fighters. There’s a reason the gong is stronger than the shou, and the gong’s frequent daydreaming will make sense later. The romance develops slowly! 2. The entertainment industry is only a minor element, not the shou’s main career. The entertainment-industry plot appears in Chapters 36–41, when he films a production, and Chapters 61–65, after it airs and during a variety show. Please don’t buy if that’s not your thing. 3. Most of the other prominent characters are side-character gongs and members of side couples.

At the new boss’s insistence, he has to step out from behind the scenes and take part in the company’s operations and publicity as a music producer. He even becomes a mentor on a talent show. Little does he know that once he appears in public, he’ll win a huge number of fans for both his looks and his work. Then the boss regrets it, but by then, it’s too late to hide him away. [A guide to the genders of the Great Zhou dynasty], This is purely worldbuilding, so please don’t nitpick. There are three genders: men, women, and nan’er. Nan’er look like men and have male sex characteristics, but are inferior to men in height and physical strength, though superior to women in those respects. Nan’er have sparse body hair and are born with a distinctive red birthmark. They can bear children, though their fertility is slightly lower than women’s. A nan’er and a woman cannot have children together. A man and a woman, or a man and a nan’er, can have children of any of the three genders: male, female, or nan’er. Intended message:
